LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida – Betty Austin made her point clear Saturday night at the MEAC-SWAC Challenge Legends Reception."If your mama wants you to be nurtured, come to Alabama A&M," she told the audience in the Contemporary Resort Ballroom.
The longtime women's coach was honored with former Bulldog John Stallworth as well as Elvin Bethea, Harry Carson and Bill Hamilton at the annual banquet. They were recognized for significant contributions to their HBCUs and communities.
Austin, who is also an A&M alum, was asked what made her want to go back to the university.
"I wanted to get a job ...," she said.
Seriously, though, Austin said she wanted to help give young women "an opportunity to get an education."
